The Brush Lady Beetdiggers showed up on the road on Tuesday night, beating Highland in three sets 25-16, 25-15, and 25-14.Brush coach Erin Keller said it was a good game but that there was some room for improvement."I think one of the hardest things is to play a team not quite at your level. It is really hard to play your best game when you don't have to and we had some mistakes early, especially in serving," said the first-year head coach.Keller pointed out that Ellie Monarch led the team in kills with the other big middle, Emma Mortensen right behind."We didn't have a ton of kills though because we didn't get the ball back very much," said Keller.She said the key to the game was just making sure that her team did it's job"If we kept the ball in play we could kind of let Highland work against itself," she said.The Lady 'Diggers now hosted Patriot League opponent Sterling in a non-conference game on Thursday."It's going to be a good challenge," said Keller. "Sterling has always been known for having a fast offense and they do a good job of making our blockers work since we do have those two big middles. The key will be making sure we know where there hitters are."
